CHARLES HERBERT BROWN, 01? NEW YORK, N. Y., AS SIG-NOR OF ONE-THIRD TO EDMUND D. FERGUSON AND ONE-TH BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY.

IRD TO ELIAS W. FERGUSON, BOTH OF CURLING-IRON PROTECTOR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES HERBERT BRowN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 357 West Twenty-sixth street, New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curling-Iron Protectors, of which the following is a specifica-tion.

This invention relates to protectors for curling irons, and its object is to provide a tube into which irons may be inserted while being heated so as to protect the irons from soot and over heating which would tend to burn the hair of the user.

These and other objects of the invention are more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the claims and illustrated in the drawings, wherein,

Figure 1 is an elevation of the protector with the curling irons inserted. Fig. 2 is a view of the protector detached, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of same.

The invention consists of a tube 5, preferably of metal and having a closed end 6 and an open end 7 with a flange 8. The tube may be of any desired length but it is of such diameter as to inclose the ends of the iron and prevent their falling out. A handle 9 of wood or any other non-conductive material is provided with a shank 10 of wire, which passes through an opening 11 in the flange 8, and runs toward the rear or closed end of the tube. The wire is then formed into a ring 12 which encircles the tube, and the handle is held securely in place Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 15, 1911.

Patented Apr. 16, 1912. Serial No. 644,099.

by means of the ring and opening 11, so that it is not apt to be disconnected or lost.

In use, the irons are inserted in the tube as shown in Fig. 1, when the handle 9 will be in proximity to the handle 13 of the irons, so that the two articles may be manipulated at the same time and placed over the flame or other heating means so that the proper heat may be given the tubes, and the ends of the iron receive the proper amount of heat for practical use.

It is obvious that the parts may be otherwise arranged and modified without departing from the essential features above de scribed.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. In a curling iron protector, the combination with a tube having a closed end, and an open end, of a handle at the open end and having a shank attached to the open end of the tube and encircling the closed end.

2. In a curling iron protector, the combination with a tube having a closed end, and an open end, of a flange at the open end, a non-conductive handle and a shank for the handle passing through a perforation in the flange and encircling the tube adjacent to the closed end.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES HERBERT BROWN.
